Addressing Some Common Concerns About Tattoo Removal

We’re human. Human beings are capable of achieving so many incredible feats in life, but we’re also a very dynamic species. Unfortunately, we’re not a perfect race, and we tend to make many mistakes in life. Of course, without making any mistakes, we probably wouldn’t learn anything. That’s just one of the many things that make us human. Fortunately, some of these mistakes don’t have to be permanent regrets — there are ways to rectify certain things in life.

How Long Does Tattoo Removal Take?

Unlike getting a tattoo inked on your body, tattoo removal is a process involving multiple sessions. Typically, most patients require somewhere between three to ten treatments to fade your tattoo to the point where it’s no longer visible, but of course, this depends on the individual, the nature of the tattoo work, skin type, and other factors. Treatments are typically performed every eight weeks, and so it may take over a year until your tattoo is fully removed. Removal timeframe also depends on patient satisfaction — your tattoo is slowly fading instead of outright disappearing.

Will Tattoo Removal Hurt?

We’re not going to “sugar coat” this answer: yes. Not unlike tattooing itself, tattoo removal is painful, but it’s also not completely unbearable. For whatever reason, tattoo removal seems to bear the reputation that the pain associated with the experience is absolutely excruciating, but the reality is that it’s not so bad. Wright Surgical Arts can inject a local anesthetic or use lidocaine cream to numb the area and reduce discomfort during the experience. We also utilize a cold air machine that helps cool down the relevant area of your skin.

Are There Side Effects Associated With Tattoo Removal?

Yes, but they are relatively minor and also temporary in nature. Typically, the most common side effects are related to skin irritation, including things like redness, tenderness, swelling, scabs, bruising, hyperpigmentation, and hypopigmentation. Remember that these side effects are a completely normal reaction to the tattoo removal process.
